Armando

Armando is married and is the father of five children, three of whom are already adults. He lives in his own home with his family and also supports his grandchildren, who live with him. He is a mason by profession. He will use this loan to buy construction materials (cement, bricks, sand, stone, iron, etc.) to expand his home. In the future, he hopes to finish and to furnish his home. To do this, he promises to make his payments on time so he can request more loans from Hluvuku. His challenge is gathering funds little by little to carry out his projects.

About Housing Loans

Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
